Your Service Obligation Contract requires that after you have successfully completed the course of instruction at the Academy and fulfill the requirements for an unlimited license as an officer in the Merchant Marine of the United States you must :

Maintain a U.S. Coast Guard license as an officer or a Merchant Mariner Credential (MMC) with a license endorsement, including all endorsements held at graduation, for six (6) years following graduation; and

Apply for and accept, if tendered, an appointment as a commissioned officer in the reserves of the armed forces of the United States and maintain that commission for at least six (6) years* after graduation; and

Serve in the foreign or domestic commerce and the national defense of the United States for at least five (5) years following graduation as:

(A) a merchant marine officer on a U.S. flag vessel; or

(B) a commissioned officer on active duty in the U.S. armed forces or NOAA Corps; or

(C) with the Federal government in a maritime-related position that serves the national

security interests; or

(D) ashore, in a U.S. maritime related industry, profession or marine science. C and D require a MARAD approved determination prior to accepting other than afloat positions; and

Submit your Annual Compliance information annually between January 1 and March 1 to https://mscs.marad.dot.govuntil all components of your service obligation are completed.

In exceptional circumstances you may email your Annual Compliance Report Form (MA-930) to the USMMA (DPDCS) at serviceobligation@usmma.edu .

*All armed forces of the United States are currently requiring 8 years.

Failure to meet any component of your obligation, including reporting, may result in a breach of your service obligation commitment.

The Maritime Administration monitors annual reports to ensure that we have a sufficient skilled force of licensed officers to crew our vessels, privately-owned, and Navy vessels to support the Department of Defense in times of emergency or mobilization.

If you are found in default of your Service Obligation Contract, possible disciplinary actions include: (i) involuntary active duty in the military or (ii) reimbursement of the cost of your USMMA education.
